I provide my clients thorough, strong home inspection reports that contain critical information and negotiating leverage! My home inspection reports go well beyond the Home Inspection "Standards of Practice". This is CRITICAL because it provides you with greater documented defects and more important information regarding your potential investment. Plus, at no extra charge, I utilize an infrared camera to provide a better look at the property. I work for my client ONLY and have no interest in pleasing other parties or Realtors!! I understand the importance of protecting your investment and family; my only interest is my Client's Best Interest. Your home inspection report is State-Of-The-Art, written in a narrative description and very easy to read. They are sent to your email no later than the very next morning. I personally perform each home inspection and work very hard to reveal defects that provide you with critical information you need to know!

Screening

How We Got Started

I chose to work in this industry because I am dedicated to providing you with valuable information about your new home while educating you. You will learn that I am honest, trustworthy and thorough. Since questions are answered and client education begins on site, I strongly urge you to attend the inspection. I will build a strong report for you to negotiate with. My home inspection report helps provide you with negotiating leverage! They often go beyond the Standards of Practice which allows me to word them very strongly, to give you leverage! This is important. They are state-of-the-art, include many photos and are very easy to read. Your report is written in a narrative description, which will include defects found, hazards and recommendations. Plus, they are posted online for easy retrieval no later than the very next morning. To further assist me in revealing defects I bring along an infrared camera to provide a better look at the house when I think appropriate to use it. .

Project:
Inspect a Home

Joe did an awesome job inspecting a home my wife and I were buying near Warrenton. He is a quiet, unassuming dude, but he worked hard and was extremely meticulous in his inspection. I was impressed with his knowledge and with his fee. To be honest, I had planned to hire someone else, but after talking with Joe (who beat his competitor by $65) I decided to drop my previous plans. I'm glad I did. Not only was the inspection awesome, but he produced an extremely useful, easy to digest fina report. Great guy who does great work.

Joseph was kind, thorough and very communicative. Although this was a post sale inspection, I now know all the things I need to resolve with my property -- a great report, complete with pictures. I would recommend him without hesitation.

We hired Joseph to do our home inspection. The home we are trying to purchase is a short sale (we buy it as is) and it was overly important we are aware of all the issues because it would be at our dollar expense to repair everything. Joseph arrived before the scheduled appointment and got right to work. He stayed almost 4 hours and did a very detailed job. We are aware of the issues in the house and have an extremely detailed report stating all the findings. We are glad we hired Joseph.

Thank you very much!! I&apos;m glad i was able to help you during the stressful time of buying a house with issues. Thanks for your business and comment!

I highly recommend VA Home Inspect, LLC. Joseph offers exceptional customer service and thorough inspections. He genuinely takes the time to explain what he does and high very ethical, high standards. From the moment he responded to the request for a quote to when he sent his final report, he was professional and really a pleasure to work with on this needed task! I would use his services again and will recommend him to anyone who wants a truly thorough and honest inspection.

Response by VA Home Inspect, LLC:
Thank you very much for your review and for your business. When I&apos;m performing a home inspection, i&apos;m providing a service that is very very important for my client. I work hard and understand the importance of my role. And the motor driving me is that I don&apos;t work for myself, I work for my loved ones, my wife, kids and mom. Your review not only helps me, but it helps them as well. Thank you!!

Excellent service, have used VA Home Inspect multiple times, and have referred them to our friends. Extremely thorough report, and the owner, Joseph, works only for the customer and is not swayed by any other parties. We very much appreciate his professional and prompt dealings, and hope to use his services again in the future!

Response by VA Home Inspect, LLC:
Thank you very much, I&apos;m glad you found benefit in my service. I hope to work for you in the near future. Thanks again!

Joseph was timely, friendly, and engaging. The inspection was very thorough and he explained everything he did as he did it as well as answered questions I may have had as he walked through the home. Joseph also writes detailed report ad had it to me the same day of the inspection. Last bt not least Joseph is wonderfully priced especially for a single working parent as myself and if for some reason I do not move into the home I had inspected today I will continue to call Joseph until I finally close on the right home for my family.

Response by VA Home Inspect, LLC:
Thank you very much! I&apos;m thankful for the opportunity to provide you with a thorough inspection on your new home. I enjoyed you and your moms company and look forward to helping you in the future. Thanks again!

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

Verify Trade License
HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.

Verify Insurance
As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.

Verification of State Business Filings
For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.

Criminal Records Search
HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.

Sex Offender Search
We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.

Bankruptcy Search
We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.

Legal Search for Civil Judgments
We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.

Liens Search
We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.

Identity Verification (SSN)
HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.

Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.

NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.

HomeAdvisor's Screening Process

HomeAdvisor uses the following criteria to screen service professionals at the time they apply for membership in our network:

Licensing

We make sure that our service professional businesses carry any applicable state-level trade licensing for the services for which we match them to consumers.

Sex Offender Search

We check the websites that consolidate state sex offender information in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located to confirm that there is not a match based solely on the name of the owner/principal of the company.

Legal Search for Civil Judgments

We use third-party data sources to check the owner/principal of each business for bankruptcy filings, liens, and significant state-level civil legal judgments, in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located, occurring within 12 months prior to the service professional's application for membership in the HomeAdvisor network.

State Business Filings

For service professionals that are corporations or limited liability companies, we confirm that the business is registered in the state in which it is located.

Criminal Records Search

We use third party data sources to conduct a criminal search, in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located, for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business, within the three years prior to such service professional's application for membership in the HomeAdvisor network. HomeAdvisor's third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ("NCD") to screen our service professionals. The comprehensiveness of the NCD varies by state. Please be aware that the reporting in the NCD is particularly limited in the following states: AL, CO, DE, GA, ID, KS, KY, LA, ME, MA, MI, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, SD, UT, VA, VT, and WY.

Identity Verification (Social Security Number)

HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number of the business owner/principal to confirm their identity. (This applies primarily to small businesses.)

Corporate Accounts

Some Service Professionals are employees, franchisees, dealers, or independent contractors ("Corporate SP's") of larger national or corporate accounts ("Corporate Accounts"). In such event, you may be matched with the Corporate Account entity or with one of their Corporate SP's. The above screening criteria is not applicable to Corporate Accounts, and therefore, HomeAdvisor does not screen the Corporate Accounts or Corporate SP's.
